Her Temper died in 2008 and her final foal is Denali Surprise, a bay colt by Suave that was foaled that year...Stanley often names his fillies after his daughter, Alex, and her changing disposition (i.e. Her Temper, Pleasant Temper, etc.)

"Around last August was when she started to get really good and she hasn't looked back since," Stanley said of his mare. "I don't know if it's maturity but she's certainly a different horse now than she was at age 3. You kind of have to throw out anything that happened before last August." ...

Pleasant Temper died this year after foaling a colt by Distorted Humor.
